REASON FOR EXEMPTION

Important Note: Exemption numbers 1-4 below result in total exemption. Exemption number 5 often only results in a partial exemption. Refer to SCHEDULE I on the back of this form to determine the amount of any exemption for Low-Income.

|1. ___ |MULTIPLE CONCURRENT OCCUPATIONS (for credit for LST paid on prior occupations in this tax year use Form LST-Credit): If your principal occupation is thru an |

| |employer that is withholding the LST, attach a copy of a current pay statement from your principal employer that shows the name of the employer, the length of |

| |the payroll period and the amount of Local Services Tax withheld & List all your occupations on the reverse side of this form in SCHEDULE III. If your |

| |principal occupation is thru self-employment or an employer that is not required to withhold the LST, attach a copy of your tax receipt verifying payment of the|

| |current year LST to the taxing jurisdiction(s) of the location of your self-employment & list all your occupations on the reverse side of this form in SECTION |

| |III. If your principal occupation changes during the tax year, you are required to notify any non-principal employers of such within two weeks of the change. |

|2. ___ |ACTIVE DUTY MILITARY EXEMPTION: Attach a copy of your orders directing you to active duty status. |

|3. ___ |CLERGY EXEMPTION: My occupation is that of a clergy. Enter the name, address, phone number & contact person & title for the church, temple, etc., for which |

| |you are employed: ____________________________________________ |

| |_______________________________________________________________________________________________ |

|4. ___ |MILITARY DISABILITY EXEMPTION: Please attach copy of your discharge orders and a statement from the United States Veterans Administrator documenting your |

| |disability. Only 100% permanent disabilities qualify for this exemption. |

|5. ___ |LOW-INCOME EXEMPTION (Refer to SCHEDULE I on the back of this form to determine appropriate entries for the blanks below): |

| |I affirm that I reasonably expect my total earned income and net profits from all sources within the municipality of _____________________________ to be less |

| |than $_________ (Column C). I therefore qualify for an exemption of $_________ (Column D) reducing my employer’s withholding responsibility to $_________ |

| |(Column E). I will notify this employer immediately should my 2013 earned income and net profits earned in this municipality equal or exceed $12,000 during |

| |this tax year. Attach any immediate prior year copies of your last pay statements or your W-2s, and any PA Schedule C, F, or RK-1 if self-employed, for |

| |occupations in the taxing jurisdiction(s) for which you’re requesting this exemption. |

EMPLOYER: If the exemption requested is for reason Number 5 above and there is a $5.00 school district LST, the $5.00 must be remitted along with this exemption form. The employer must forward a copy of the Exemption form (no attachments & only the front of the form unless for Exemption # 1 in which case a copy of the back must be also be forwarded) to CTCB and retain the originals of all exemption forms & attachments for 3 years. Once an employer receives this completed and signed Exemption Certificate along with its required attachments it must not withhold the LST. However, you must begin or reinstate withholding if notified by either the employee or CTCB that the exemption is invalid, or in the case of a low income exemption, upon payment to the employee of earned income within the taxing jurisdiction in an amount equal to or in excess of $12,000 in the tax year. Note that where an exemption is found to be invalid, an employer is required to do “catch-up” withholding on the employee, which consists of withholding the regular payroll period pro-rated amount, plus an amount equal to all the withholding missed due to the invalid exemption.
